Hum..

Haven't read the guide you posted (no need for it) but I'd like to add -

If you're a newbie to Linux, I highly reccomend SUSE. No doubt it's the best for new peoples. Very much worth the cash. Then I'd read the books that came with it first.

Panda - Nice post.

  3. Maclin
    Linux on a Mac (0)
    Why are there no good distributions of Linux for Macs? I have a MacBook with Mac OSX Tiger, Windows
    XP, Windows Vista, and OpenSuSE 11.0 on it. I wrote a post here on how to accomplish this.
    However, OpenSuSE works horribly on Mac. Is it completely Mac's proprietary fault, or is it
    just that most Linux users in their right minds would never pay for a Mac when they could build a
    Linux-friendly machine for pennies in comparison? I use a Mac for many reasons. First of all, I
    love it. Secondly, I have a website that I like to check with a variety of environments. ....

    Just like the other Visual Quickstart Guides, this book goes over the basics for Photoshop CS3, and
    teaches you how to use Photoshop and give you a basic understanding on how Photoshop works as well.
    Very easy to understand as they give these mini tutorials in each section that they cover, such as
    filters, brushes, layers, layer effects and gradients to name a few. This is a good book to learn
    the beginnings on how to use Photoshop, but once you understand the basic concepts from this book

    If you’re a web design both beginner and advance and have a hard time remembering all the

    Each tag is broken down about what is is supposed to do and gives you an example of what it looks
    like and what other HTML’s can be used with that tag as well. This book also provides
    DOCTYPES which includes the early version of html up to the current XHTML. So I highly recommend

  19. What Made You Switch To Linux?
    (44)
    I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like
    that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was
    very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
    which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
    then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
    learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn't ....
